Season 2: Ready To Release
Season 2 of High School Musical: The Series will premiere on Disney+ on May 14. The announcement was done on Wednesday (Feb. 24) amid the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. Tim Federle told EW that season 2 is more of a Beauty and the Beast than a High School Musical 2.
Tim interviewed saying, “Beauty and the Beast is not only one of my favorite scores — the music is so emotional — but it allows us to see these kids cast in roles that might surprise you. And also just scenically and costume design-wise and musically, it’s so different from High School Musical that it’s just a nice way to expand.”
Who is returning?
(Spoilers) As one saw in Season 1 Nini and Ricky said ‘I Love You’ to each in the finale episode. So it is confirmed that the new couple will start a new journey, exploring their relationship. Olivia Rodrigo is definitely returning for season 2 along with Joshua Bassett.
The two teenage stars have broken out into their respective careers as artists too. With the release of ‘Drivers Licence’ and ‘Lie Lie Lie’ by respective artists, both talked about their past relationship. It looked like a teenage drama of real life
